Auman Landscape Interview: Bankruptcy To Million Dollar Landscape Company
Video from B&B Lawn Care. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
Caleb Auman, who started a lawn care business in Lancaster, Ohio, right out of high school in 1999, tells a fellow landscaper how he fell behind on payroll and other taxes, priced jobs too low, filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and then rebuilt with his wife, who owns the new design-build landscape company. He is plain about what he got wrong and what he changed, which makes this the cautionary pick for a trade owner who dreads the paperwork; the video is sponsored by landscape business software.
